Prospect Info: 2022 NHL Draft

[Zegs2sendhelp]

He's a 2 way guy but has offensive potential.

I don’t mind bischel chesley or Pickering…. Just at 22 not 10

I'm looking forward to the draft but I predict that, as usual, it'll be kind of a letdown. I don't have strong feelings about any of these kids so just drafting this player or that isn't super exciting to me in an immediate sense. More in the abstract.

Eh I generally really enjoy the draft, and glad it’ll be a more normal draft than the last few seasons

Savoie really excites me if he falls…. But we’re picking at 10… in any draft you prob won’t have strong feelings for the player drafted there.

The unknown is always more fun, but this year we have so many high picks that it will be cool to read up more on all of them after the fact.

Maybe I'm just getting old -- or maybe it's due to the (seemingly) huge drop-off after 5 -- but I'm not nearly as excited about the draft as I usually am.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

With Verbeek emphasizes on getting quicker and faster. Taking the worst skater in the top 15-25 would be a change-up. He's definitely a top prospect but kind of contradicts what Verbeek is preaching. He is big but not particularly mean or physical. I do think his skill is underrated but yeah....

He's also emphasized getting stronger

 

[Dryish]

I, for one, am quite looking forward to watching the ever-as-awkward draftee interviews live and seeing a bunch of young hockey players repeat the ages old adages we've all heard dozens of times before.

And then soon thereafter relishing the moments their careers fizzle out and their efforts turn into years of near meaningless AHL grinding.

Well that's kind of dismal.

Well that's kind of dismal.

At least they get paid money to do what they're passionate about, in the end.

Can do that a lot easier through free agency.

 

[Trojans86]

I think Lekkerimaki is getting super underrated. He just knows how to get open like Kuch and Selanne. His shot is violent.

He is on my short list of guys i really like.

I meant it more to say that Verbeek's been very generic in what he's said and I don't think its an indicator of what they're targeting. When you're saying you need to get bigger, faster and stronger that's not much of an indicator at all.

I think Lekkerimaki is getting super underrated. He just knows how to get open like Kuch and Selanne. His shot is violent.

I'd even be happy with him at #10, from what i read he's got the best shot of the draft.
McTavish on PP1, Lekkermaki on PP2 would be a hell of alot of options in the future.

So many Goal scoring options they'd have, McTavish, Terry, Lekkermaki, Zegras, Perreault, Pastujov, (maybe Comtois if he gets it together).
Only thing missing is a goal threat from a Dman. Play drivers in Zegras and Terry. Underrated playmakers in Perreault and maybe Pastujov ?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Trikozov/sykora I’d love to grab at 53… not sure if either will make it that far tho

I know the Russian thing prob scares people off trikozov but if we can grab him with our late 2nd, I’d take the risk

On the Clock: Potential Prospects Available to Anaheim at Pick #10 | Anaheim Ducks

With just one day until the NHL Draft, it's time to talk prospects.The Ducks have eight selections this Thursday and Friday at Bell Centre in Montreal, with plenty of room for GM Pat Verbeek and co. to begin shaping their first offseason directing the Ducks forward.Just nine names will be

www.nhl.com

Basically the players we been talking about minus Nazar... and obviously Bischel.

I'm just excited to get excited for whomever we pick We can pick a racoon in a trenchcoat and I would still find ways to find it exciting

But yeah, I believe we can get 2-3 decent middle of a lineup players down the road from this draft. Maybe even one top liner.

Would love to see a raccoon in a trench coat play hockey. He'd have been better than half the guys on the roster last season.

He'd have scored a bunch of garbage goals when needed, I'm certain.

Probably steal some wins as well

I like kasper a lot... idk if i like him at 10, i love him at 22. Hes 1 of those guys id hope to get back into the 1st round via trade (gibson, cap dump etc).... and move up to 15ish if hes still there.

 

[bsu]

Kasper won't be available at #15 imo. I think he's gone in the top 9.

I agree.... i think Detroit or sens will grab him

but honestly who knows... hes been 1 of the players in the top 15-20 range that ive had the hardest time placing.

You have a finalized top 10-15ish(or hell 22)? Based on what you think teams will do.
